Mom: You are the best form of birth control.
--FAO Schwarz, 5th Avenue
a funny story: my freshman year of college, my friends and i took a daytrip into NYC before christmas, just to see the sights and have some fun. as it was the holiday season, of course we had to go to FAO Schwartz. after waiting in line (waiting in line! outside, like wrapped around the block!) for about 15 minutes, we got inside and commenced wandering around this world-famous crackhouse for children. i have to admit, even though i'm not known to be the most "child-friendly" person in the world, it was a cool place to see.
anyway, so we're walking around, and it's mad crazy crowded. we end up walking past a huge section of the store devoted solely to teletubbies (mind you, this was 1998). there's a woman standing in the midst of the teletubbies merchandise explosion, holding onto her three kids. she's literally holding them all by the arms, because they are flailing around, trying to get free and gorge themselves on teletubbies swag. finally, the mother lets go, the kids scramble out in all directions, and she shouts one thing:
"Anything but the video!!"
